It’s incredibly rare when you see the legendary godfather of all things cool, Quincy Jones, involved in the world of video gaming. That apparently lends a lot of weight to the buzz surrounding Scratch: The Ultimate DJ, which, as near as we can tell is about as authentic an experience one can get if you’ve ever fancied being the coolest man in club.

Newly re-hyped with an early 2010 release window, (and new developer, Commotion Interactive) things seem to be heating up between Scratch and the other anticipated rival, Activision’s DJ Hero.

Could this be the new Guitar Hero vs. Rock Band feud? At this point, it’s a game of who’s going to announce the better DLC music and which peripheral works best. With the announcement of entertainment company QDIII’s (Quincy Jones III) involvement in SCRATCH, the brewing music battleground just got a little more interesting.
